The club now boasts six county players at present who are Debbie Phillips, Chris Mann, Andrew Stratton, Mark Linsdell, Brian Saunders and sixteen year old Mikey George.
As Wymondham plays in only the Breckland league during the winter season a number of the players, play in different leagues with different clubs. This gives the selected players more stability throughout the season with them playing against different players on different mats, which gives them more experience. Chris Mann, Mark Linsdell and Debbie Phillips play for Hempnall in the South Norfolk and Tens league's. They also play for Halvergate in the Thurne and Wensum league's when needed.
